"How good looking?" asked Bai Tingxin as he raised his long eyebrows."If I were 20 years younger, I'd pursue him right away! I wonder how many girls he's going to charm when he goes to kindergarten!" Qin Lianyi tutted, immediately becoming a fan of the young boy.Bai Tingxin frowned. 'Handsome and cute... She would pursue him? Why does this sound so awkward?'"Would you really go after him if you were 20 years younger?""Yeah, you just haven't met him yet. Why don't you meet him the next time Yiran takes him out? Yiran says he's even more good-looking in person..." Qin Lianyi stopped short. She finally realized that Bai Tingxin did not look quite right, and as if she had come to a realization, she then said coquettishly, "Of course, no matter how handsome and cute he is, he's no match for you!"The next second, she abruptly changed the subject before sighing to herself. 'I almost forgot how stingy and easily jealous he is!'"Do you think I'm good-looking?" He peered at her."Ye
A lot of times, they still would not get paid even if they won.At noon, Guo Xinli called Ling Yiran and asked her, "Um... Do you know where the actress Su Xi is? I... I want to see her.""What seems to be the problem?" asked Ling Yiran."I just want to talk to her about Lil Li. Maybe she'll feel sorry for Lil Li. I’m not expecting her to admit that she was the driver, but maybe she’ll give Lil Li's family some money so that he can continue to get better treatment," said Guo Xinli. He just wanted to make one last effort.After all, Lil Li was also an employee of his company. However, the company was in its start-up stage and there was very little they could do to help Lil Li's family.Even though the company had donated money to Lil Li's family several times, it was still not enough in the face of the huge medical bills.On the other hand, Su Xi was a famous actress. Some time ago, it was reported that the actress bought a new house worth 60 million dollars, so she should be able
"But—""No buts! I'm not a philanthropist. Besides, I'm not the driver responsible for the car accident. If I donate and pay for the accident, then anyone who's injured will start approaching me!" Su Xi said angrily.Su Xi was about to leave when Guo Xinli unconsciously grabbed Su Xi. "Miss Su—""Let me go!" Su Xi shouted, and Su Xi's assistant quickly pushed Guo Xinli away.Guo Xinli stumbled a little before regaining his footing.Su Xi glared at Guo Xinli, ordering the film set's security guard, "Don't let these two people enter the set again. Jeez. They made me lose my mood!"“Yes, miss,” the security guards repeatedly said.Ling Yiran knew that today had been a waste of time.Just as she was about to leave with Guo Xinli, she found Guo Xinli staring at Su Xi's back in a trance."Stop staring. Let's go," said Ling Yiran."Wait... I remember the woman wearing the same ring that night!" Guo Xinli said suddenly.Ling Yiran was stunned. Suddenly, something flashed through her
'What happened? Where's Ling Yiran?'The only person Guo Xinli could think of was Su Xi. 'I remember talking about Su Xi's ring, and Yiran seemed to be contemplating about it. Did Yiran go back to look for that actress?'The more Guo Xinli thought about it, the more likely it was, so he hurriedly ran back to the set.In the middle of several cameras on the set, Su Xi was filming when Guo Xinli suddenly burst into the shot and asked urgently, "Miss Su, have you seen Ling Yiran? The one who came with me just now?"He did not see Ling Yiran when he came over, so he was panicking even more.The film set was immediately in an uproar as soon as he intruded. Security guards rushed over and grabbed Guo Xinli while the crew members started accusing Guo Xinli one after another.Su Xi was even angrier. "How would I know where she is?"The director asked the security guards to kick Guo Xinli out."Miss Su, can you tell me exactly where Ling Yiran is? Did she come to see you again? How else
Gu Lichen immediately walked up to Su Xi and snapped. "Where's Ling Yiran?""I... I don't know. I have nothing to do with this," Su Xi said with a quaking voice, wondering why the crown prince would ask about Ling Yiran.'Ling Yiran is just a paralegal. Why is the crown prince so panicked?'Not only Su Xi but others around them, including some who had never seen Ling Yiran before, were wondering what the missing woman had to do with Gu Lichen."Lichen, maybe Yiran just left because something came up. Yiran's an adult. What could happen?" said Hua Lifang as she walked over to him.After shooting a few scenes, she decided to invite Lichen to the set.She heard that the director was preparing for the next film, so she decided to use Lichen to see if she could land a good role.'Who knew that the first thing I heard is a man shouting about Ling Yiran, and in the next moment, Lichen's expression changed!'Hua Lifang regretted it. 'I should never have brought Lichen to the set.'Why
Hua Lifang, who was standing next to Gu Lichen, was stunned.'Lichen... didn't even hear what I said. He's only thinking about Ling Yiran.'Even his blatant murderous intent and indifference right now is because of Ling Yiran!'Hua Lifang had a hunch that if Su Xi was still unwilling to say anything, Lichen would really kill someone. He would kill for Ling Yiran!Ling Yiran! Why her?'Lichen thinks I'm the one who saved him when he was a child! It's me he needs to care about, not Ling Yiran!'Su Xi trembled even more now, and the fear of death almost enveloped her. It was not like she had not filmed a chokehold scene before.However, no matter how fierce the men who co-acted with her looked and no matter how heavy-handed they were when they choked her, she had never felt such fear.Those dark, cold phoenix eyes were staring at her without any hesitation. The hand on her neck was so tight that the man’s fingers felt like steel. She could not break free no matter what.It was to
The entertainment industry had always been a place with overflowing gossip, so everyone started to speculate.Guo Xinli, who caused all this ruckus, was at a loss and still could not come to himself.'What... What on earth is Yiran's relationship with Gu Lichen?'The way Gu Lichen looked was as if... the person he loves the most is in danger!'Loves the most?' Guo Xinli was startled by the words that came to his mind.'Where did I get the idea? Don’t they say that the crown prince of the entertainment industry often changes his girlfriends? They also say that he may seem affectionate, but he's in fact heartless.'How could a man like that have a woman he loves the most?'…By the time Gu Lichen arrived at the film studio's security room, all the relevant surveillance footage was ready.From the surveillance footage, they could see the actress Su Xi talking to a man wearing a black T-shirt in front of the bathroom. They talked for about half a minute or so before the man left.
How could Hua Lifang give up? She wanted to show her thoughtfulness, so she practically forced the glass into Gu Lichen's hand.However, Gu Lichen's hand shook so violently that most of the water in the glass spilled out.Gu Lichen was stunned. He tried to hold the glass, but it shook even more.It was not the glass that trembled but his hand!Gu Lichen's eyes were fixed on his hand that was holding the cup.He had never felt so flustered before. It was as if his body... was instinctively telling him he could not lose her no matter what!…Guo Xinli found Ling Yiran at the police station. At first, he thought Ling Yiran would have gotten hurt, but things were better than he thought. She was alive and kicking."Sorry to have worried you. My phone got trampled on, so I couldn't call you. I don't remember your phone number either. I finally called you by taking out my phone card and plugging it into another phone, but it took a little time," Ling Yiran said apologetically.Guo Xi
He clenched his jaw and felt his teeth ache. 'Yeah, she’s broken up with me. She has every right to find a new boyfriend, but... the thought of her smiling at another man, and kissing and hugging him makes me uncomfortable.’ Gu Lichen could not help feeling irritated."You can't find one! Do you think you can find another man like me to love when you love me so much?" he said.Zhong Keke retorted with a slightly red face, "You... You're too confident. Who are you to say I can't find one? I love you now, but I can slowly get over you. Besides, I don't need to find a man like you in the future. I just need to find an ordinary man with a good personality who treats me well! I’ll give him all my heart, and he’ll do the same!"It was more like she was telling herself that.'Yes, I can move on from him. I can do it!'However, her words seemed to have provoked him as he turned the steering wheel sharply, slammed on the brakes, and pulled over at the roadside.She was thrown forward and
The fact Zhong Keke accepted was that she feared she would love him more and more!When Yi Jinli and Gu Lichen returned to the ward, Ling Yiran was still chatting with Zhong Keke about the children, not only the new baby but also the triplets."Alright, Lichen and I are going home first. Yiran, have a good rest. I'll visit you and the baby again next time," Zhong Keke said and got up after seeing the exhaustion on Ling Yiran's face.Ling Yiran replied, "Okay. I'll let you meet my triplets next time.""Sure."After Zhong Keke and Gu Lichen left, Yi Jinli lay on Ling Yiran's bed and said, "If you're sleepy, sleep first. The doctor said you need more rest."Ling Yiran said, "I'm a little sleepy, but I had a nice chat with Keke today. Jin, you know what? I think it's great that Lichen has fallen in love with Keke. Keke's a wonderful woman, and Lichen has finally found his happily ever after."She said as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.Looking at his wife's sleeping fac
"Thank you! It's a good painting, and I like it very much. I didn't expect you to draw my daughter like that.""I saw the baby when I came to the hospital that day, so I remembered," said Zhong Keke."I heard from Jin that you and Lichen both came to the hospital that day. I didn't scare you, did I?" said Ling Yiran.Zhong Keke smiled softly, "All that matters is that you're safe. Being alive is better than anything."The two women chatted while the two men looked at each other. Then, Yi Jinli said, "Lichen, let's go get some air."The two men got up and walked out of the ward.Zhong Keke looked uneasily at the ward door.Ling Yiran said, "They’ll be back soon. Don't worry. My Jin won't kidnap Lichen."Zhong Keke smiled, knowing that Yi Jinli probably had not told Ling Yiran about what happened that day."By the way, how are you and Lichen's relationship? Does he treat you well?" Ling Yiran asked."He treats me well." It was true. He treated her well. He would give her everyt
He and Song Qingyao were not even friends."You don't have to explain this to me," said Zhong Keke. They had broken up, and she did not need these explanations.Besides, she knew better than anyone that he had always been in love with Yiran.Thinking of Yiran, Zhong Keke said, "I want to go to the hospital to see Yiran. Can I?" The last time she visited Yiran, Yiran was still unconscious, so she wanted to check on her.Hesitation flashed across Gu Lichen's face."Don't worry. I won't say anything to trigger Yiran. I’ll still pretend to be your girlfriend in front of Yiran. If Yiran asks you, you can say we're doing quite well. When Yiran has recovered, I can make an excuse to say we've broken up. Of course, I can take all the blame. For example, I thought being with you attracted too much attention, or I couldn’t get used to being with you, or I had fallen for someone else—"Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled into a wide embrace.His hands held her tightly
Zhou Xinmian: [I said you were living with Gu Lichen now. Then they said nothing and left readily.]"..."Zhou Xinmian: [Did you block their phone numbers? They said you're not answering your phone.]Zhong Keke: [Yeah.]She should have blocked her uncle's family's phone numbers long ago. Even blocking them now was considered late!Zhou Xinmian: [Well done! But didn’t they try calling you using another phone number?]Zhong Keke: [They did. But as soon as they spoke and I heard their voices, I hung up and blocked their phone numbers.]In other words, she did not give them a chance to talk.She did not want to listen to what they had to say anyway. They had worn out the last of her affection.Zhou Xinmian: [Have you made up your mind this time?]Zhong Keke: [I’ll just consider that my grandparents only gave birth to my father!]In other words, she no longer considered her uncle and his family her family!Zhou Xinmian: [You should have done that long ago! They told me Gu Lichen
It was why he had said such things at the time to keep the woman from leaving!"Maybe I've liked you since then." It probably started earlier than he thought.Zhong Keke's eyes watered as tears were about to pour out. She raised her hands and covered her eyes, "Gu Lichen, stop telling me such things!"Such things would only make her waver when her resolution was hard-won. Did he know how much determination and perseverance it took her to ask for a break-up and keep her distance from him to stop loving him when she loved him so much?Though her hands shielded her eyes, they could not stop the tears.His fingers pulled her hands away. "Alright, I'll stop. I'll stop talking. Don't cry."Her tears had always left him flustered.He hugged her and coaxed her. The indifference in his phoenix eyes had become affection.Zhong Keke finally stopped crying, but she still sniffled occasionally.Holding a tissue, Gu Lichen carefully wiped the tears from her face. After a moment, he said,
"Do you care about me?" She smiled bitterly. "That word isn’t only something you say but..." She did not continue speaking after a pause.However, he already knew what she was going to say.Gu Lichen turned pale. He knew that the incident at the comic fiesta was something that bothered her.He was the one who caused it!"Also, I think we'd better talk about the possibility of me getting pregnant!" she said."Okay, go ahead," he said as he asked the others in the living room to leave."Will you insist that I have the baby if I get pregnant?" she asked, looking at him."If you’re pregnant, I don't want to lose the baby," he said. He had never longed for children even though his parents had always wanted grandchildren, even if it was out of wedlock.However, such ideas had never occurred to him.Now, he wanted to have the baby because they would be... his baby with Keke!"Even if I don't want the baby, are you still going to stop me from having an abortion?" she asked.He was s
Even though he did not love her, she still thought she was a better candidate than Zhong Keke.However, to her disappointment, the way Gu Lichen looked at her was still icy."I'm not interested in you. The Song family you're so proud of will no longer exist in Shen City a year later. Perhaps the Song family can keep some things if you start planning now. Otherwise, you'll have nothing left."With that said, Gu Lichen left the ward, leaving Song Qingyao standing where she was in a daze.Other than reluctance, resentment, and jealousy, there was more shock and fear on her face.'Does Lichen intend to eradicate the Song family within a year? Is... Is he going that far for Zhong Keke? He doesn't love Zhong Keke, right? Why is he doing it? Why?' Unfortunately, no one could give her the answer.Gu Lichen walked out of the hospital and got into the car. He slowly closed his eyes as Song Qingyao's last words flashed through his mind.'It doesn't matter... even if I don't love her?'Kek
Song Qingyao's heart sank. Sure enough, he could find out anything he wanted to."Why did you do it?" Gu Lichen said coldly.Song Qingyao suddenly laughed. "You're asking me why? Gu Lichen, I’ve loved you for so many years. What do you think?""I wouldn't love you even if Zhong Keke didn't exist. If I wanted to fall for you, I would have done so from the beginning," said Gu Lichen.Song Qingyao's mouth was full of bitterness. She knew that!However, knowing was one thing. Her being reluctant and unwilling to accept it was a different matter!She shouted, "Why did you choose Zhong Keke? You love Ling Yiran because Ling Yiran saved your life when you were a child. What about Zhong Keke? Why her?"She accepted losing to Ling Yiran because she had never saved Lichen's life.However, how could she accept losing to Zhong Keke? "Because she's the one who saved me from the messy relationship," replied Gu Lichen."What do you mean?" Song Qingyao was puzzled.Instead of explaining, he
